Solo VanLife: Crossing into Mexico: PART 2
I never expected my cat to be chased by the Mexican Military... but here we are...
Hi! I'm Quin and have been living in my van FULL-TIME w/ my 2 CATS, Atlas and Otto, for the last THREE YEARS (Feb 2021!) After working for seven years in a corporate position as a marketing director and event producer for a magazine, I decided to leave my position, take a risk and jump into #solofemalevanlife w/ my two cats.
After two years of doing winter van life to snowboard… I am through. Listen… winter van life was great but to be honest, mentally, I was my worst self. Winter in the van was HARD and I finally am listening to my body and I am doing things a little differently this winter….
So, I am taking my van and my cat Atlas, to their THIRD COUNTRY…. Mexico!!
Join me on this two part journey on CROSSING THE BORDER into Mexico for the winter!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Oh we have a LOT to catch up on... After Otto passed away, I sort of checked out from social media. I was really focused on just living my life as best I can because you have no idea when your last day is... I know I share shorts but I don't really feel that they give you the whole story of out adventures... SO.. let's have a chat... let's catch up... let's chat about what Atlas and I have been...

    why do do many westerners seem to lack self-preservation instincts? adertising you are alone in a van as a young woman in mexico... even if she has a self defense weapon with her, she is outnumbered solo. this is so dangerous and luck will run out eventually. I hope she is extremely diligent with her safety

    You should have someone who also has pets and would be consistent and hsve survival skills. Im not tsking thst they have to be male there are womrn who older ,who know theose skills, love animals, have knowledge of a wide expanse. Yes, there needs compromise sometimes but there are great rewards to hsve someone who enjoys this but can contribute with knowledge ,etc. Hunans are social even those of us who like to be recluses. Sometimes the closest people like famiky and friends are not always the greatest to depend on.

    She’s just pleading with the cartel to kidnap her. What is wrong with you, why are you doing this in Mexico? And please don’t say/think “biased people don’t realize how safe it really is!”. You are a single woman with no defenses, and you’re also accepting strangers food, really dumb move.

    I've skipped from your first movie to these Mexico ones :) New van, is it also an AWD? Same water volume, lol. It's good you are travelling with others. I am not from US or Mexico but I have heard about Baja and recall images of lots of deep sand. Have you thought about carrying recovery tracks in-case you get stuck in sand or deep gravel? They /it would only have to work once. I see pretty rugged looking ones made of strips of heavy rubber wire-cabled together. Yeah, space and weight. I got surprised when I drove my van into some deceptively deep fairly coarse gravel one time. Boom, buried up the axles. 4x4 was useless. Luckily someone came along and pulled us out with a snatch strap. Actually, an air bag jack would have been handy then too! How is Mexico going?

    Sweet. You did well Quin. So many good ideas and systems. Yes, and the kettle! :) I might check those out. I had a collapsable non-electric silicon one which was great but I overheated it and caused a leak in the metal bits. I've got a smaller van in a different country and security is always in the back of my mind. Situational awareness is a good friend too. All the best in your travels and way of life.
